Abstract

For every group \±1\⊆ Δ⊆ (\mathbb Z/N\mathbb Z)^×, there exists an intermediate modular curve XΔ(N). In this paper we determine all curves XΔ(N) with infinitely many points of degree 4 over \mathbb Q. To do that, we developed a method to compute possible degrees of rational morphisms from XΔ(N) to an elliptic curve.
